Tennis legend Roger Federer retired from competitive Tennis on September 23 (Friday) after losing a doubles match in the Laver Cup to Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe of Team World. While Federer got emotional during his farewell, sitting beside him, Rafael Nadal also shed some tears as his greatest rival and an off-court great friend signed off.
The photo of the iconic duo is being widely shared on social media platforms with several prominent sportspersons wishing the legend on a successful career. Meanwhile, England’s pacer Stuart Broad has also come up with a hilarious reaction to the viral photo.
Stuart Broad puts a funny story on his Instagram account. The senior pacer from England took to Instagram and shared the iconic photo of Federer and Nadal and wrote ‘Me when @jimmy (James Anderson) retires in 2053.
Both Anderson and Broad have been an integral part of the English squad, especially in the Test format. While Anderson is the leading wicket-taker among seamers in Test cricket, he is followed by his bowling partner and friend Broad. Broad has played 159 Tests for his country picking up 566 wickets.
The veteran duo played a crucial role in Three Lion’s victory over South Africa in the three-match Test series played recently. Both Anderson and Broad have been quite vocal on representing their national side ahead as well and seem in no mood of taking retirement from the game soon.
Meanwhile, team India star batter Virat Kohli penned a heartwarming note for Federer who made his last appearance on the tennis court on September 23.
“Who thought rivals can feel like this towards each other. That’s the beauty of sport. This is the most beautiful sporting picture ever for me. When your companions cry for you, you know why you’ve been able to do with your god given talent. Nothing but respect for these 2. @rogerfederer @rafaelnadal,” Virat Kohli captioned the emotional picture of Federer and Nadal which went viral as the game ended.
